ABOUT THE PROGRAM By learning psychology's core concepts, methods, findings, and applications, students are equipped for bachelor's level positions and graduate degree programs--needed for careers as psychologists and professionals in related areas. The department equips students for lives of leadership and service in a global society through formation in coursework, research labs, field placements, perspective-taking courses, personally tailored advising meetings with faculty, and co-curricular learning opportunities through the Psychology Club and Psi Chi honor society. They have opportunities in the major to engage in collaborative research with faculty and internships in community human-service agencies, schools and businesses.

The department's exceptional facilities include multimedia instruction, an animal laboratory, an EEG machine, a psychophysiology laboratory, a psychoacoustics laboratory and other computer- controlled laboratories for data collection and analysis.
